Emerging victorious on the night (Friday, 9 February) was the Audie Murphy Fan Club, whose members demonstrated impressive trivia prowess. Following closely behind were the Quizzy Bears and Clarksons Farm, both formidable contenders in their own right. However, the true winners of the evening were not just those who claimed the top spots, but everyone who participated and generously donated their winnings to the charity.

A highlight of the event was the generosity of David McKay from Tesco, whose contribution of a voucher added an extra layer of excitement to the prize pool. Thanks to the collective efforts and generosity of all involved, a grand total of £610 was raised for the Buddy Bear Trust.

The success of the quiz night was not just measured in pounds and pence, but in the sense of camaraderie and community spirit that filled the room. It was a wonderful evening enjoyed by all, where friends came together to test their knowledge, support a noble cause, and make a difference in the lives of others.
